SLU-PP-332 is a small molecule ERRα agonist that activates the same nuclear receptor pathway triggered by endurance exercise. It's the next generation of exercise mimetics after MOTS-C, and it comes with a critical handling requirement.

What is SLU-PP-332?

SLU-PP-332 activates Estrogen-Related Receptor alpha (ERRα), a nuclear receptor that controls genes responsible for mitochondrial biogenesis, fatty acid oxidation, and oxidative metabolism. When activated, ERRα essentially tells your cells to behave as if you've been doing endurance training.

Key Benefits

  • Mitochondrial biogenesis: Creates new mitochondria in muscle tissue
  • Enhanced fat oxidation: Shifts metabolism toward fat burning
  • Endurance improvement: Increased exercise capacity in animal models
  • Muscle fiber conversion: Promotes slow-twitch (type I) fiber characteristics

Why BAC Water Destroys SLU-PP-332

This is the critical warning most sellers won't tell you: SLU-PP-332 degrades rapidly in bacteriostatic water.

The benzyl alcohol preservative in BAC water reacts with SLU-PP-332's molecular structure, breaking it down within hours. You'll inject what you think is a research compound and get... nothing.

Solution: Use sterile water (not bacteriostatic) and reconstitute immediately before use. Do not store reconstituted SLU-PP-332. Single-use vials are recommended. DMSO-based solutions are the most stable carrier.
